Mexican Gothic

A very creepy story set in 1950's Mexico, about a young socialite who goes to her newly married cousin's isolated home to check on her after receiving a disturbing letter and is drawn into the strange family life there. It is not an accident that Noemi and her cousin are Mexican with native heritage and the Doyles are British in this tale about being taken over against your will. The blurb on the book compared it to HP Lovecraft and the Brontes, but in atmosphere it reminded me of Daphne DuMaurier, except that the heroine is much more likeable. I really enjoyed this.
